Miss the gold foil Michelobe, and Lowenbraue also.
Strohs Fire brewed beer was a great choice in the 70’s and 80’s
Still drinking it
I had to be really drunk to drink that High School memories
It was a great choice long before the 70's and 80's. Still I can't forgive them for buying and killing Goebel's, an even greater choice, and for firing Van Patrick.
I remember the song for the Stroh's beer commercials. Nancy Wilson sang. I can only remember part of the lyrics, but can hum the entire tune.
Strohs , old Milwaukee and meister brau are the 3 I remember ( genny cream ale, "creamer screamers") at family events
Remember Anchor Steam beer! Never forget Anchor Steam!
Back in the 1970’s I was drinking an imported German beer called Lowenbrau. (Lion’s brew) An excellent lager!
About 1975 Miller Breweries started a mass production of their version of Lowenbrau.
It had nothing to do with the taste or quality of the German lager. As I recall it was just a light beer using a famous name. I do remember that I really disliked it and was very disappointed that I was unable to find a retailer that would carry the import. They all claimed ( rightfully so) that they could not sell enough of it because of the mass advertising that Miller was doing. You have to understand that this was ages before the internet, Amazon and Google.
12 years later Labatt Breweries of Canada produced a version of Lowenbrau, but on a limited scale and I had trouble locating it in on any consistency in my State.
Lowenbrau is still produced in Germany and still to the strict standards they have.
On occasion I will order some for a nostalgia occasion.
It’s really ashamed that Miller could destroy even that small footprint with their truly awful beer.
Yes I realize I’m being very impartial. Such is life.
I used to drink imported Lowenbrau draught (light & dark) in the 70’s-great stuff!
There's a Czech lager called Budweiser, too. The American version is not quite the same.
I heard they were discontinued for violating German beer brewing laws , and to date nobody has tried it again. Don't understand why not, it was a good brew.👍
Lowenbrau in the bottle was very popular in the late 70's at the beach in Santa Monica. Michelob was also big. We looked for Swiss Lowenbrau in Florida in the 90's.
@@pmasters1951 Yep, apparently there have been lawsuits back and forth for decades between the Czech Budweiser (which is far superior) and the American Bud.
In the 60's in New Jersey Schaefer was probably the #1. Rheingold, Rolling Rock, Ballantines, Bud and Schlitz were also popular.
I remember drnking Rheingold Rolling Rock and Ballantines when I worked in Maine in the 70;s We also drank Canadian beers Moosehead and LaBatts. We also drank Naragansett from Boston. My college roommate was from Pittsburgh and brougt Iron City to the Midwest as well as the Christmas version- "Old Frothngschloss the Pale Stale Ale with the Foam on the Bottom." I lived near St. Louis so we had all the Anheuser-Busch products Michelob, Budweiser, Bud Light, and Busch But we also had Falstaff, Carling, Griesedieck Bros, 9-0-5, Schlitz, Red White and Blue, Pabst, Little Kings, and a few others.
Being in my early 20's in the 70's we drank what was ever was available and cheap lol@@billgrandone3552
That was fun!
My dad would drink Schafer's (sp) beer when I was a kid. Mom had these tall crystal pilsner glasses. At eye level, i used to watch the bubbles rise...I was counter high. When mom wasn't in the room, he'd even let me have a sip lol!
I have those glasses today.
I just watched a couple of old Schaefer ads a few days ago. Pretty funny in retrospect - they advertised it as the beer to get a buzz on. "Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one. Schaefer pleasure doesn't fade even when your thirst is done."
@@61hink That's wild, thanks!
I still have my beer can collection.i’m 59 lol beers from the 60’s & 70s The olde Frothingsloth cans
My pop would drink Olympia beer when he would BBQ. Before that he would drink Blatz. Anyone remember Blatz beer?
My comment to Blatz Beer was, Blatz gives you the Splatz. I drank it, sometimes it was a true statement!!
Lol. I do
That and Oly is what we drank when I was in the Army
Wisconsin guy enters the chat: goddamn right, I remember blatz! Do you remember blatz cream ale?
of course.... !
Being from the midwest Schiltz and Falstaff were pretty popular around here. Falstaff was the first beer I ever sipped back in 8th grade. 😁 A buddy of mine used to drink Bud Dry, and I bought a 6pk or two myself, but didn't that didn't last long. Never heard of Miller Clear, but I bought one, count it..., one 6pk of Zima, and didn't like it at all. I used to drink Bud for awhile, but a cousin turned me onto Heineken many years ago, and it's generally my go to. However I do buy other beers occasionally, I do like Guinness from time to time, Grolsch, and others.
During the seventies in the midwest we used to drink Cold Spring, Fox Deluxe, Buckhorn and Phifers as teenagers. One could buy a case of bottles for under $5.00 providing you returned a case of empties.
@@smith1958b I remember seeing Phifers, MAYBE Buckhorn, but I'm not familiar with the rest. Of course back then beer was fairly cheap especially these brands. Do you remember 905? I never had it, but it was real popular here too.
Never had a Falstaff. Dad was a huge Schlitz drinker until they changed the recipe and broke the company. He switched to Old Milwaukee which was huge in Iowa. Old Style (the REAL G. Heileman brew) was big too along with Hamm. PBR was usually a 3rd or fourth place behind Bud, Old Mill, Old Style.
Did you ever try Dubuque Star? About 8 bucks for a case in the late 80's.
I'm from Cleveland and remember my parents having Carling Black Label in the house. P.O.C (Pride of Cleveland) was also popular.
@@seththomas9105 I'm in Missouri, can't remember Dubuque Star. I can't say I've ever had Schlitz, and I've had Old Milwaukee, it was pretty good. One time I was given an Old Style, took a sip & poured the rest out, it was horrid.
I miss strohs .
I still have one when I visit Ohio
16 oz strohs ❤
The beers I remember growing up near Chicago: Blatz, Pabst, Schlitz, Hamm's, Leinenkugels, Meister Brau, Strohs, Kingsbury, Old Milwaukee, Straub, Steven's Point. Some of these are still around.
I've lived in Kentucky for 42 years and Falls City beer is still in beer stores here, although it's sold now as a craft beer.
If you like IPAs Falls City makes a good one. I grew up in Kentucky and Falls City was what my dad always drank. To me it is not the best or worst beer out there.
My sis had a boyfriend when I was a kid who drove for a distributor and occasionally had 'extra' (haha) promotional beer signs, posters, etc., one of the coolest, the envy of my friends, was a Falls City relief sign (not flat) featuring an over and under rifle overlaid on an outdoor scene with a stream and mountains reminding us to "Aim for the Best!" Another favorite had a curvy chick in a bikini, shot from the knees to the chin, sporting a Stroh's bottle cap in her navel proclaiming "Great Beer Bellies are Made not Born"... waaaay before the piercing craze. 🍻
I remember Olympia Beer. Toured the brewery several times. Olympia was one of the 3 major beers selling in Washington State during the 60s and 70s. Rainier Beer, being the top seller, with Lucky Lager number 2, and Olympia number 3. Blitz and Heidelberg bringing up the rear along with the national brands.
We liked Blitz Bavarian a lot in LA in the late 70's. Can't find it anymore..
The thing about the Olympia Brewery was how good the beer tasted coming out of the vats and the gift shop. Bought some Olympia Beer fabric and made curtains for 1/2 dozen vans in a car club early '70s.
OK OK OK, thank you for this video, Hop"n Gator beer!!! When I was a very young man in Myrtle Beach SC, I drank HG Beer!! When I tell people about it they look at me like I am nuts and tell me it must have been the other drugs I was on that led me to make up the name Hop'n Gator. (never took other drugs, but it was the early 70s.) So again thank you for the shout out to HG beer. I am posting this for all my friends who laugh at my memory of HG beer.
Fun to see all the old beer cans that I enjoyed collecting as a kid.
Or new beer cans that you find littering the streets?
I still have my collection.we would forage for hours in the woods in the 70’s .we would go where the teenagers drank .lol
So much has changed. I wish some things were still the same.
This video made me feel old remembering drinking some of these old beers 😂😂😂
I’m with you
As a child I lived 6 blocks from the Drewrys beer factory in South Bend Indiana. If the wind blew the right way you could smell the beer for quite a distance. I can remember my dad listening to WGN radio in Chicago back when Franklyn MacCormick had a show called "The Meisterbrau Showcase" There were many different beers available in the midwest during the '50s and '60s.
I drank (Coors) Extra Gold for 10-15 years. It came in a 30 pack and was excellent. I wish it was still around.
I was 9 in 1978. A Billy Beer can was the first can in my beer can collection. The collecting didn't last more than a couple years. I have no idea what happened to that can.
Ohh the good old days of classic beer! I sure do remember some of those beers and I miss those great forgotten beers from the past. I'm not THAT old (61). I started drinking beer in 1979 at the age of 17. Cheers to those classic beers! 🍺
In Nam the government bought beer from every brewery I think. I had damn near every one of these. Mostly once then never again.
Anybody remember Buckhorn? It was about four dollars a case or maybe less lol.
Oh yeah! The "cheap" version of Lonestar!
@@mmtx73 😂Doesn’t seem possible….🤔
about 3 years ago, I found a 12 pack of Oly in my home town grocery store. Bought it immediately. It was my uncle's favorite.
Although they were probably better known for their ale, Ballentine made beer that was especially good with food. I drank quite a bit of it back in the early 60s.
🎼🎵"Heeey, get your cold beer! Heeey, get your Ballantine! Heeey, get your ice cold beer; get your ice cold Ballantine beer!" 🎶 I remember that jingle from every Orioles home game.
I was neighbors with a descendant of the Ballentine company.
Nice girl named Bess.
First time I ever got drunk was on Ballantine Ale. I wish they still made it, a decent and cheap light Ale.
Ballantine@@itsjohndell ale is still made here in jersey my local liquor store carries it next to Genesee cream ale
Schlitz was a decent beer and they also had a dark version that was great. Don’t know why it was discontinued. Heineken dark was also great. Can’t seem to find that anymore.
I liked it also but they messed with the formula and that was that.
Schlitz was good back in the early Seventies, back then we would drink Schlitz and Molson Golden Ale and occasionally Rheingold on tap at the neighborhood bar.
Schlitz is still really easy to find it just tastes horrible way too heavy and not enough whacky flavors of marketing to sell to the microbrew crous
Schlitz had some commercials featuring a woman who was from either China or Japan and she would pronounce it “Schits” !😁
I worked in a food store bagging groceries and I remember cans of beer and soft drinks exploding. I often had them explode on me! The manager blamed recycled aluminum that the cans were made of. 😢
I’m so happy that you put Corrine Alphen in the introduction. Lovely woman.
Of all these the one I would buy today would be Olympia.
Pittsburgh Brewing is currently doing the mixing again....this time with Turner;s Iced Teas....another Pgh icon.......
Schlitz, Billy, Falstaff, I remember all these beers!
When I was growing up in Oklahoma, all of the beer sold was 3.2%. I remember my grandad drinking Falstaff, Lone Star, Coors and Ajax beer. I’ve been trying to find one of the animated Jax commercials for years.
When I was 14, we moved to a small town where all the beer was 3.2. It was the only place in Virginia ( other than military installations) where you could not get 6.4 beer. Coors produced a 3.2 beer and still had the push button tops. The law changed in ‘76 and we got 6.4
Falls City Brewing did make a lasting contribution to the beverage industry: the Sta-Tab that is now standard on every beverage can.
My favorite, that is no longer available, is Lucky Beer.
There were rebus puzzles underneath the bottle cap.
It came in 12-pack cases small bottles, 12oz cans and 20oz and 40oz bottles.
I'd forgotten all about that "clear beer" thing. Never could understand it, looked pretty unappetizing. My friends and I were big on Weinhard's, it was better than the average domestic beer and it didn't cost as much as imported. We thought Olympia was weak and watery, so our version of their slogan, instead of "It's the water and a lot more", was "It's just water, and nothing more."
There used to be a beer called Bud Light until some genius executive thought it would be brilliant to have a man pretend to be a woman and prance around like a little girl and be a spokesman for the company.😆
Well done
I totally miss the dry beer era. MICHELOB Dry was my absolute favorite and Bud Dry was a good cheaper alternative until it got phased out
I was a fan of the Ice Beers, like Bud Ice, Icehouse was better back then, they are still sold here but hanging by a thread.
My beeer is Rheingold , the dry beer,
Think of Rheigold, whenever you buy beer
Dad use to drink 7oz Rolling Rock ( pony bottles) It was light and crisp -plus never had the chance to get warm. It was my first beer @11 years old in ‘72
When it comes to beer,I’m a regular common sewer!
There was a big backlash here in the Northwest when Henry's was discontinued. It was brought back and is still avaliable.
In Manitoba in the 80's, government liquor stores carried Blatz as the absolute cheapest beer available (cheaper than domestic brands even). Later that decade, they dropped Blatz and adopted Meister-Brau to fill that market segment. My friends and I called it "Monster-Brau". We probably were not the only ones to call it that.
In college, we called it Meister Chow. A local bar would sell seven draft 7oz glasses for $2. I miss the 80's.
Anybody remember Black Label beer? Or the generic “Beer”? It was a solid white can with BEER written in black. Iowa in the late 70’s early 80’s is where I saw both of them.
"Hey Mabel, give me a Label" my Dad would buy that beer if it was on sale. In fact he would drive 40 miles to save a nickle on a case of beer back home when we were on summer vacation at the cottage instead of buying it at the local distributer. (gas was really cheap back then!)
Every 4th of July in the late 70’s, early 80”s we would go to my uncles house. He always had BEER. He also had generic soda for the kids. His wife was a dispatcher for the local police and would always have confiscated fireworks that us kids would light off.
There was a No Frills Beer, plain white can with BEER in caps.😂
It’s a crying shame about Pete’s Wicked Ale. Pete Slosberg was from my hometown. I really loved his Wicked Winter Ale. On a side note, I was just out in Washington state for work. I tried to find Olympia beer while I was out there, only to find out it was discontinued a couple years ago
Meister Brau , the image of the first can shown, was my go to beer when I was 16 in 1988. It was super cheap and had a decent taste I thought. I had it one again in 1996 , reminiscing about my high school days.
I remember Doc Otis Hard Lemon back in the early 2000s. It was a hard lemonade that tasted like actual lemonade instead of candy like Mike's. I wish that was still around.
Summer Shandy by Lienenkugal is decent but only available in Summer
Augsburger beer by the Monroe Brewing Company, Monroe, WI. Discontinued in 1985. I still have a five gold rimmed drinking glass set in the original packaging. It was six glasses, but some drunk person back in the day broke it. They also made Huber, my beer of choice in College.
I’m from Monroe . Used to love the headaches Huber gave me 😂. The brewery is owned by an Indian family now and Huber isn’t their brew of choice.
My wife is from Monroe and we drank Augsburger along with Rhinelander Bock and Huber Bock. Huber Bock is still made but I don’t know if it is the same recipe as back in the ‘70s.
@@IowaGrandpaTrain I don’t think it is the same but I don’t drink enough to be an expert in the issue.
As a kid in Camden N.J. my Mothers Father drank Canden Beer,1957 they went out of business in 1963!
Spent a number of summers in my youth in New York State drinking Utica Club and Rheingold. I'd like to see those again for old times sake. I'd also like to see Olympia being made again.
Where is upstate NY ?
I was in a thrift store in Phoenix and found a Schultz and Dooley snow globe .
@@ericschulze5641north of Utica are the Adirondack mtns ,biggest chunk of wilderness east of the Mississippi.
@@drhotchkissknow it well I spend my summer weekends in the 1000 isles, & I live not far from Utica
I remember Gennesse cream ale.
Dad drank Brew 102. Sometimes he would let me taste the foam😂
Back in the 80's, Coors used to do a special run around the holidays called Winterfest. For something brewed by Coors it was pretty good. By the way, anyone remember the button top cans that Coors had during the mid seventies?
I h8ed those button top cans.
Yes- as I commented above, my town had only 3.2 beer, one of which was Coors, complete with push button tops (‘76)
Anchor Steam (moment of silence) went out of business last year. It made my heart sad. How sad? 😭 There. I've never used an emogee before.
I miss Henry Weinhard's. It was a good beer until Coors turned it into piss water and let it fade away.
Im an avid beer can collector with thousands of cans from the 70's ! I pretty much have all the brands ! That was a good decade for collectors ! I like the cream ales the most !
Turning 60 this year are you interested in my collection ?
@@ericschulze5641 How much $ ?
@scottymoondogjakubin4766 I'd have to look through it, I've got pulltabs flat tops cone tops, trays ect. You don't happen to be in upstate NY by any chance ?
@@ericschulze5641 No ! I Live In Laporte Indiana ! But i'll keep you in mind ! I may be interested still ! Thanks !
@@scottymoondogjakubin4766 are you looking for tab top & pop top ,or all types of cans , so I know what to look through, I've also got coasters, & openers
Meister Braun...at a $ 1.80 a twelve pack....1961-2. " green beer " ! , Blatz, _- 50's , Hamm's s beer,quart bottles. ,good taste. Billy Beer....green beer .. was collectible , Henry Weinhard beer... Great . ! 70's .... Miller..." Draft" ..great! Up to 90''s. Brew 102...cheap green beer...at a $ 1 per 6 pack 12 oz...had 16 oz cans too. Olympia..great ..had a nice barley dry taste. Olympia really caused major sorrow when they stopped brewing. A treible hunt for the last cans !
Back in the late 1950s in the Cleveland area we had Leisy ,Strohs, POC, Schlitz, Standard .
Strohs. Hellyeah. I was trying to think of that. I drank it in the early 90s in Tennessee. It came in a 15 pack as I recall.
I was all about Hop'n'Gator back in the 70s. Thought it was apple. Quite a kick. Drank about a thousand of em.
I loved Bud Dry & Stroh's Bock! Dad, my older brother and a couple of my buddies used to go to Pizza Hut for a pizza and a couple pitchers of good bock. Bud Dry in my 12-pack cooler after work at night in the hot summers in the plants.
One of my first beers was Schlitz. Used to drink pitchers of it at a cajun restaurant.
GOEBEL….. made by the Strohs brewing company. me and “hammer” Toney, back in the late 70’s, in high school would buy a six pack for $2.00!! 3 apiece. One of the best cheap buzzz ever!! lol 😂
Eastside Old Tap Lager Beer!! An oldie from LA.
Shlitz Dark: sadly long gone, best effing beer I ever had.
I’ve learned so much about old beers and new ones from the people responding.
I grew up in Peoria, the home of Gipps Beer with the slogan "Gimme Gipps". For really cheap beer there was
a road house down on Galena Road that sold Bullfrog Beer.
bullfrog: 4 quarts for a buck in chicago!
I liked Oly beer , when I was stationed in Korea we drank a lot of Oly .
I miss the Schiltz draft dark beer from the 80's. We with friends would go to St. Aug., Fl on weekends and end up at the Milltop Tavern. It was the best beer that I have ever tasted. Shalom
I drank the shit out of Red,White,& Blue beer back in 1980, it was the poor man’s Pabst Blue Ribbon. You could buy a case(24cans) for $1.95.
Then I found out later the reason I could drink so much Red, White & Blue was because it was only 3.2% beer, not 6% like regular beer.
Back in the days of my first punk band, we'd buy bavarian club londneck cases for $10.00 a case. Three cases of returned bottles would buy another case. Not good beer, but we were poor-ish mohicans that preferred a good buzz on for our woodshed sessions. I miss those days. The beer not so much...😅
Pete's Wicked Ales were a treasure. Sad that those went away. Henry Weinhards also made amazing beers.
Henry looked like it would have been a good beer
Strawberry Blond. Outstanding beer
My father in-law drank Black Label beer.
An uncle drank Blast Label for many years. It has evidently been defunct gir some time now.
Mabel, Black Label!
How can beer be dry? It looks wet to me. 🤔
Bud might as well stop brewing beer. Dylan Mulvaney has fixed that.
I was a bagger in a supermarket and I remember cans of beer and other drinks exploding when I tried to put them in the shopping carts.
Pfeiffer (3 cases for $9.99, plus tax) and Blatz. Got us through college.
1:29 The original recipe for Olympia Beer was recreated and is being served again in downtown Olympia as a Brewhouse. It's called Well 80 on 4th Ave and they serve the original formula.
I miss Stroh’s.
My first taste of beer at about 10 years old was a can of Schlitz that i found on a HOT summer day on a little one lane road that my grandparents lived on and I rode my bicycle on. I looked down and saw an unopened can , so i popped the top and it foamed out everywhere. I took a drink and it was horrible. Lol Don't know if that turned me against beer but I never developed a taste for beer when I got older.
Schlitz used to be a very good beer until they were boght out, then somebody had the bright idea to change the recipe to make it cheaper. Hence the saying "Schlitz today, Shitz tomorrow!"
I enjoy drinking Bud Dry. But after awhile you could only get it 22oz bottles and then it was gone.
Man.. I could go for a Pete's Wicked Winter Brew right now.
Schlitz brewed fine beer for many years. It rivaled Budweiser in sales. Anheuser Busch purchased the brand and shut it down, removing a wonderful competitor
Didn’t know AB bought out Schlitz. Glad AB is in trouble now.
Wrong. What really happened is the son of Joseph shlitz. Thought it took to long to brew
He sped up the process. It tasted the same but. Shelf life was bad. They came back with old Milwaukee. The kid messed up
Anhauser Busch never bought or owned Schlitz..it is owned now by Pabst ,and it tastes pretty bad, surprised anyone wants it.
When I was in training at Ft. Lewis in 1985, our battalion had a big BBQ in late July. They filled about 20 garbage cans with ice and beer. The beer was Olympia and Rainier. Everyone wanted the Olympia. "Gotta have my Old" they said. They left the Rainier alone. I had drunk both. I preferred Rainier over Oly a lot. I was stuck almost alone with +/- 1000 cans of Rainier 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. 🥴. I remember most of these brews. I drank Falstaff a lot. Pittsburgh Brewing made all sorts of beers, including Old Frothingslosh. It was, um, beer. I loved Moose Head, Simpatico, Rainier, and everything Miller made until I tried an MGD 64. 😵 I hated Budweiser, although Busch was decent. Signature, the premium beer made by Stroh's, was pretty good too.
I was at ft.lewis 75 .The only water I would drink, and my first beer i liked were both from that state
..memories
Olympia was my beer of choice back in the day. It was very popular. I drank Zima and liked it. It tasted more like a wine cooler than a beer.
One of the older ales I used to like some years ago was Bass, imported from England. It disappeared from the shelves for a while, then reappeared again, this time brewed here in America. But the flavor just wasn't the same. I haven't had any for quite a long time, nor have I seen it sold anywhere recently.
Always loved Bass Ale, haven't seen it on the shelf in a few years, always wondered why. Can't remember the last time I had a proper Black n' Tan.
Remember it well early 80’s late 70’s
That was a good one
This was great! My dad drank Olympia And further back Stag Beer in the bottle.
Dad used to drink Oly beer in small cans. He liked the taste and the small cans allowed him to finish a beer before it got warm. Dad with his Oly and Mom with an Oly and a small glass of Southern Comfort. I was used as the TV remote control.
My dad had a remote like that!
Hey Henry’s is still around see it at my local store all the time .
in the late '80s, Coors had this brand called Herman Joseph's.
they had a regular lager, and a light lager. I enjoyed both, and miss them.
around the same time, Coors offered a brew called Extra Gold Light, which had the slogan "a darker light beer" 😄
They also made a beer called Masters III. IT was good.
Here in Tulsa we had Ranger Beer Brewing Company, I have a church key with the logo on it.
Id like to see all of Inbev on this list!!
Start with Budlight.
The price & squat bottle of Pabst red white & blue bottle reminded me of Lucky Lager. It was around a long time but disappeared. My dad use to drink Busch. It had a mountain side full of trees on the can
I really think that Meister Bräu would be a success if it was produced for Christmas.
Did they mention Hamm's beer? I haven't seen it in years.
"From the land of sky blue waters...
Comes the beer refreshing....Hamm's..."
Also I remember a late night radio program called "The all-night Meister-Brau showcase" hosted by Franklin McCormick. My Dad would put it on in the car after a long weekend day at Grandma & Grandpa's house.
Pete was my entry into craft beer, especially being from Connecticut(may or may have been underage lol).......wish he would bring it back.
... but that's just the way it goes... in the world of random RUclips recommendations 😂
Standard Bock beer was once common, now almost impossible to find.
Bock beers are usually released in the fall for Oktoberfest.
Guiness or Negro Modelo are dark stout beers.
Not exactly what I was hoping for, but the Hop'nGator was a memory jogger.
Red, White & Blue was delicious. I was working at Isle Royale National Park as an 18 year old in 1988 and my roommate and I would buy a smuggled case of it for $20.00 off of “The Voyager” boat captain (a tourist boat out of Grand Portage, MN). That beer tasted so good out in the middle of nowhere! No TV up there so we drank RW&B and listened to Dr. Ruth Westheimers “Sexually Speaking” show for entertainment that we picked up on our radio from a station in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Best times of my life so that beer became my brand until I couldn’t find it anymore.
Pete's Wicked Winter Brew was one of the crowning achievements of mankind.
My dad would either drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, Blatz, or Schlitz. Or, if someone showed up with some black market Coors beer, the party was on. This was the mid-70s.
Hop’n Gator was the best. They was nothing better in 1970 than a cold Hop’n Gator and a joint.
Olympia beer was great had family in Washington we we to the brewery a few times when I was a kid. It was on of my favorite beers
I'm using my wife's tablet. There was a cheap beer called Schmidt's back in the 60-70s that tasted great and was cheap. You could buy 24 cans for the same price as a 6 pack of Bud.
In Watertown, NY, there was a bar in downtown that had a barstool and a plaque that stated that Billy Carter drank beer at that spot.
